“‘Travesty of Justice’: Limits on President’s Detention Powers Stripped from Final Defense Bill”

Are we sure the world didn’t end, and that this is just some version of hell I’ve been sent to for that one time I coaxed a couple of very hot, slightly drunk coeds into, you know, touching each other for me?

to total 13 negatives, then figure only 98 total could have voted (Inoye and Kirk surely not voting). But the reasoning itself isn’t apparent. Two guys from Wyo. may be voting because they don’t like the effects of the underlying bill on their state, for a hypothetical example, and not because they’re concerned about tyrannic detention powers. Or again, Franken and Sanders may well have voted against the bill because they simply don’t want to spend $633B on defense, and not because they’re concerned about tyrannic detention powers, and so on.

Just an aside, since it’s marginally interesting to me: since Sen Inoye died this week before the vote, I subtracted his vote as one of one-hundred, whereas the Senate record counts him not at all, or in other words as none of anything. This is only to do with what is being counted, I guess, yet the difference is curious.

Today, Senator Paul had some sad news to announce: A House-Senate conference committee led by Senator John McCain has stripped amendment #3018 from the new draft of the NDAA bill. Senator Levin confirmed this, saying, “The language of the Senate bill was dropped,” but, according to Politico’s Juana Summers, declined to offer any further comments.

“The decision by the NDAA conference committee, led by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to strip the National Defense Authorization Act of the amendment that protects American citizens against indefinite detention now renders the entire NDAA unconstitutional,” Sen. Paul warned.

sdferr: they could count him as “present but not voting”, like Jeremy Bentham’ at certain meetings of University College London, but perhaps he’d have to be physically lying in state at the Capitol to do that.

Executive Order 11110 was issued by U.S. President John F. Kennedy on June 4, 1963.

This executive order delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury the President’s authority to issue silver certificates under the Thomas Amendment of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended by the Gold Reserve Act. The order allowed the Secretary to issue silver certificates, if any were needed, during the transition period under President Kennedy’s plan to eliminate silver certificates

- Actually Pablo, when you are born on the 21st or 22nd you are a “cusp” baby, or Sag/Cap, destined to be an “observer” all your life, and as such tend to long life, and luck in surviving.

– Sags are super introspective and level headed. Caps hi strung and energetic and come into their own late in life. The combination of those two signs makes one weird but lovable, reliable to a fault, and unshakable to a goal.

On Wednesday, the Jordanian military issued gas masks. Jordan has taken in a large number of Syrian refugees and hosts U.S. troops on its soil, together with troops from both Poland and the Czech Republic.

Engineers have had to throw plenty of industry legend out over the years. And I’m hoping that a lot of pseudo-engineering (usually tied to safety and high quality lean manufacturing schemes) gets a lot less attention and money in the coming decades.

amen. that shit is a waste of time and money, to the point where our company just disregards it completely. But you’ll notice that any major manufacturer (like Caterpillar etc) now demands “Lean Six Sigma” qualifications for employment.

which is why i hate engineering. it’s ruled by introverted autistic men who write literally thousands of pages of specifications and rules for every little thing you can think of, so I get to read 400 pages just to figure out if we can install a wireless communication pole in Iowa. I am in the wrong field.
(no offense to the autistic men who write code.)

Lean Six Sigma is a synergized managerial concept of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma Quality protocol that that combines the goals of minimization of the seven kinds of waste and maintaining a 3.4 DPMO or below. (defects per million opportunities)

Basically you spend more time documenting than designing testing and prototyping and the REAL goal is to be certified as a good lean 6 sigma operation that will supposedly get you investors and customers.

I’m amazed how many engineers are hired and quickly moved to managerial or accounting or even sales roles and never given a chance to do any engineering and yet are counted as engineers in the investor docs to make the company look like its doing way more R&D than it really is. they end up acting as translators and evaluators when the engineering department wants to walk to another department.

IF:too gay to be an engineer AND:not gay enough to be a fashion designer THEN: architect

I like that. I call them exterior designers.

About the only jobs we get now are government projects and its driving me crazy. Architects drawing shit that can’t be built, lawyers driving engineers to over design everything, contractors who low-ball the bid and hope to make their profit on change orders, and government bean counters who are convinced that the important thing is that nobody move or somebody might get hurt.
